I need to preface this entire article with the fact that usually Eric and I re-watch the game on Sunday's before writing the weekly He said-She said column thanks to the game being played on Versus and the fact that we have DirecTV (who is in a bitter dispute with Comcast over Versus), we were unable to DVR the game to re-watch it. So this week's column (and next week's too for that matter) will have to go off of memory from watching it live...

There are a lot of things going on with the Oregon State offense right now that could use a little adjusting. Some will get after the offensive line, some after the quarterback, some after the coaching staff/play calling, and some after the wide receivers. In actuality, the blame can really be spread across the board.

Against Arizona, the offense should have done enough to win the game. 32 points, at home is usually enough for the victory. Were there some ugly moments, yes, but for the most part the offense sustained some drives. And while they didn't always make it look easy, they scored points and improved their red zone efficiency (they were 5 for 5 against the Wildcats).

From a fan perspective though, this doesn't look like an offense that is firing on all cylinders. The offensive line is young and inexperienced, which is a direct result of a few years of 'whiffs' in the recruiting department.

The good news here is that there is only one senior in the bunch and these guys are learning on the fly. They also have one of the best coaches in the country.

As for the receivers, they made some plays and were led once again by James Rodgers. Like the offensive line, problems with recruiting have led to a lack of deep threat targets. Looking back at the 2005 class (would-be redshirt seniors this year), Kyle Brown and Anthony Crosby were the only two high school wide-outs recruited, both of whom are no longer with the team. In 2006, the receiver signees were JUCO transfers Shane Morales and Chris Johnson. Morales could have been a redshirt senior this year.

A discussion on recruiting however is for a different day.

Was it a beautiful performance offensive performance? Not really, but they did enough to win with 407 yards and 2 passing and 2 rushing TD's.
